USA
Chicago is the third biggest city in the USA with a population of 2,851,268. New York is the biggest with 8,391,881. Total population of the United States is estimated at 307,006,550. Jeg bemærkede i Miami, at nogle af tegnene skifter til miljø- og socialretlige spørgsmål. It would be great to see more of that, this is leading the world.
Jeg elskede Chicago blev hos Carly og hendes mand Ross i et ejerlejlighed midt i Chicago. Carly is wanting to interview inspiring women. She is wanting to make a difference. Really lovely woman. Her place is close to everything, I was in walking distance of the city. On my world trip this was the place I gave out the most money $150 to people who asked. Even when we were driving a lady had broken down and I gave her money for petrol. Jeg talte med en fyr, der fik at vide, at der var intet arbejde i dag,,en,han beder om nogle fra mig,,en,Jeg spurgte ham, hvad var historien,,en,han sagde chefen bare beslutter på dagen, hvis arbejde er på,,en,hvis ikke han ikke er betalt,,en,Han sagde, at han har en søn, og kan ikke få enderne mødes,,en,Lønningerne er meget lave, sagde han og arbejde er svært at finde,,en,En anden hjemløse fyr jeg omfavnede og gav ham en af mine sjove bolde til sin søn,,en,En anden dame, der havde brug for penge fortalte mig, hun har brug for at få registreret til at arbejde, og at omkostningerne penge,,en,Sjovt jeg følte behov i USA er større end Indien,,en,Men jeg formoder behovene er forskellige,,en,Jeg tænkte på et system, hvor velfærd er begrænset og den tankegang af økonomisk rationalisme, der dybest set siger, at du er nødt til at lave din egen måde i verden,,en (he was asking for some from me). I asked him what was the story, he said the boss just decides on the day if work is on, if not he is not paid. He said he has a son and can’t make ends meet. The wages are very low he said and work is hard to find. Another homeless guy I hugged and gave him one of my fun balls for his son. Another lady who needed money told me she need to get registered to work and that cost money. Funny I felt the need in the US greater than India. Yet I suspect the needs are different. I was thinking about a system where welfare is limited and the mindset of economic rationalism that basically says you have to make your own way in the world. Arbejd hårdt og du vil få rig,,en,Der er også diskrimination og apati, hvor folk giver op,,en,Jeg havde masser at reflektere over der,,en,Jeg gik ud til Park Ridge og opholdt sig med William og mødte hans drenge,,en. Der er også forskelsbehandling og apati, hvor folk giver op. I had plenty to reflect on there.
I went out to Park Ridge and stayed with William and met his boys.
